  • Use of contact lens for corneal cell transplant
    Publication number: 20050013806
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the need for improved methods and apparatuses of transplanting cells to injured or diseased cornea. The methods disclosed provide for culture of cells on the concave surface of a contact lens, followed by application of the contact lens to the eye, thereby permitting repopulation of the corneal region by the cells. A particular use for the present invention involves the transfer of genetically altered cells.
